Thread Details

This years edition of Costco KS private label single malt is available in some stores in MA. Price $44.99 per 750ml bottle. It is aged 20 years and sherry cask finished. Seems like a great deal for the age for fellow SDers. If you've tried it, please share some tasting notes here.

Costco Item Number 650728

You usually don't need Costco membership if you are only buying liquor. At least where I am, no surcharge either, you pay the same as us members.

Due to state liquor regulations etc, some Costco liquor stores are operated by independent liquor/wine shops that may/can not carry Costco KS private label products

Call your stores ahead to verify availability if in doubt

Macallan was shown as the distillery in last year's version but the price was about twice as much. This year they might have gotten this from a different Speyside source.

Bought 4 bottles yesterday at Costco. They were flying off the shelves and remember they can't restock this item as this is not something they can usually procure on demand. Last year 17 year old Kirkland brand Macallan was on shelves for only 2 weeks. This batch has been procured and sold to Costco by Alexander Murray & Co who are leading private label whiskey

Also this is not peaty and very smooth. 20yr makes a difference. Plus these are finished in sherry oak casks which Macallan does as well.

Any 20yr old Single malt will cost atleast $80 in liquor stores. Also this will never go bad and is good investment considering price of whiskey has gone up considerably over past few years.
